Jose Enrique Fit For Survival Sunday’s Crucial Game

Good news this morning that Jose Enrique has handed Alan Shearer a Survival Sunday fitness boost, as the Newcastle United web site puts it.

Jose Enrique – back in full training

Jose has made a return to full training ahead of the relegation decider at Aston Villa, and should be up for selection for one of the most important games in Newcastle United’s history.

The Spaniard has been out, and apparently very frustrated about that, for the past three weeks with a hamstring injury, but now must have a good chance of playing at Villa Park.

If Jose is ready to play, that could free Damien Duff, who has been excellent for us over the last several games, to move up to his natural position of left wing. He’s done a massive job for the club at left-back in Jose’s absence ans we shouldn’t forget that.

Alan Shearer told Newcastle United TV this morning:

“Jose has now returned to full training.” “He will train again over the weekend and if there is no reaction then he will be in the squad.”

Whoever plays left-back on Sunday will have their hands full with a certain James Milner, but we will have to rely on James, who played at Newcastle for four season, having an off-day on Sunday. 😀

Apparently not Graeme. I havent heard anything offical on it, but i dont think he will be fit in time. Doubt Milner will be a problem he has been play right back for Villa. May continue because Luke Young is also struggling with an injury.

We need men to show up on saturday to stand up and take responsibility. My local team who I also support, Carlisle United were in the same position. We played Millwall who were in 3rd and we were 4th bottom and had to win or we were down. Northmapton played Leeds – lost 3-0 and we won 2-0. Our player coach (ex unwashed) Graham Kavanagh and another exunwashed Paul Thirlwell scored to 25 yarders and we worked our bits off as a team. If someone can stand up and deliver we’ll be there. Based on this seasons perfomances loads of you will reply to this post saying that’s the complete opposite of what we’ve been done this season but we all must stay positive and believe. If we can do that – its half the battle – Come on the toon!!!!

Nacho bleed to death last night after having his n@t’s bitten off by a drunken mackem. He won’t be available for selection on Sunday. No one will notice though because he’s NEVER available for selection. At least after sunday we won’t have to hear about what a world beater Nacho is. I’m looking forward to that about as much as us beating villa to put this miserable season to bed.

health update

My latest bone scans and CAT scans were completed on Wednesday of this week and yesterday I met with my oncologist Dr. Dhruva to look over the results.

The stage four cancer remains stabilized and has not spread any further over the last six months.

I was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer in early 2017 after being in remission for six years.

The cancer metastasized through the bones to different parts of the body and the treatment I am undergoing is hormone treatment.

There is no cure for stage 4 cancer but there are treatments (like Hormone treatment) that attempt to prolong life.

I am upbeat with the results and remain in awe of the doctors and nurses at the Rex Cancer Center here in Raleigh.

It's truly humbling to see how inspiring they are with their patients.

Kacper Tylenda Website Designer

One of our avid readers Kacper Tylenda from Poland was the person who came in during April, 2017 and redesigned this web-site from top to bottom.

We think he did a fantastic job to modernize the site with the roll-out on Thursday May 18th surprisingly smooth.

I am so appreciative of his help.

Kacper is starting his own business in web-design so if you want a website built or know of people who want to redo their sites in any way – here’s his portfolio.

It’s the noise, the passion, the feeling of belonging, the pride in your city. It’s a small boy clambering up stadium steps for the very first time, gripping his father’s hand, gawping at that hallowed stretch of turf beneath him and, without being able to do a thing about it, falling in love.
